The blowup of a scheme along an ideal sheaf #
Let I ⊆ 𝒪_X be an ideal sheaf on a scheme X. The blowup of X along the closed subscheme
V(I) is the relative Proj of the Rees algebra ⨁ₙ Iⁿ of I
(AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.IdealSheafData.reesAlgebra),
Bl_I X = Proj_X(⨁ₙ Iⁿ) ⟶ X.
Over an affine open U of X, the graded ring of sections ⨁ n, Γ(Iⁿ, U) of the Rees algebra is
the Rees algebra Γ(X, U)[I(U)t] of the ideal I(U) ⊆ Γ(X, U), with its grading by the power of
t (AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.IdealSheafData.reesAlgebraSectionsEquiv). Consequently the part of
the blowup over U is the blowup Proj Γ(X, U)[I(U)t] of the affine scheme U ≅ Spec Γ(X, U)
along V(I(U)), whose affine charts, universal property, behaviour away from the centre and base
change are developed in the other files of this directory. When I is of finite type, the Rees
algebras Γ(X, U)[I(U)t] are finitely generated, and the blowup is proper over X.

The blowup #
The blowup Bl_I X of a scheme X along the closed subscheme V(I) cut out by an ideal
sheaf I: the relative Proj of the Rees algebra ⨁ₙ Iⁿ of I. It is an abbreviation, so that
the API of the relative Proj applies to it directly.
Instances For
The structure morphism Bl_I X ⟶ X of the blowup of X along V(I).
Instances For
The affine chart of the blowup over an affine open U of X: the open immersion of the
blowup Proj Γ(X, U)[I(U)t] of Spec Γ(X, U) along V(I(U)) into the blowup of X along
V(I). Its image is the preimage of U (isPullback_blowupChart).
Instances For
The affine chart of the blowup over U lies over U: followed by the structure morphism
of the blowup, it is the structure morphism Proj Γ(X, U)[I(U)t] ⟶ Spec Γ(X, U) followed by the
inclusion Spec Γ(X, U) ≅ U ⟶ X.
The affine chart of the blowup over U lies over U: followed by the structure morphism
of the blowup, it is the structure morphism Proj Γ(X, U)[I(U)t] ⟶ Spec Γ(X, U) followed by the
inclusion Spec Γ(X, U) ≅ U ⟶ X.
The image of the affine chart of the blowup over U is the preimage of U.
Over an affine open U of X, the blowup of X along V(I) is the blowup
Proj Γ(X, U)[I(U)t] of U ≅ Spec Γ(X, U) along V(I(U)): the affine chart over U is the
base change of the blowup along the inclusion U ⟶ X.
The affine chart of the blowup over U is the base change of the blowup along
Spec Γ(X, U) ⟶ X: the form of isPullback_blowupChart over the spectrum of the sections.
The blowup along an ideal sheaf of finite type is proper. If the ideal I(U) is finitely
generated for every affine open U of X, then Bl_I X ⟶ X is proper.
The blowup of a locally noetherian scheme is proper. On a locally noetherian scheme every
ideal sheaf is of finite type, so Bl_I X ⟶ X is proper for every ideal sheaf I.
